If standard practices are applied, the three UCLA basketball players – including LiAngelo Ball – arrested Tuesday in mainland China under suspicion of shoplifting face between three and 10 years in prison if convicted, according to Chinese lawyers who briefed Yahoo Sports on the applicable laws. The sentencing guidelines could shift depending on the amount that the Chinese could prove was allegedly stolen.
yes it is stupid for supposedly elite athletes to go to another country and commit crimes there. they might get away with it here in the US, but if they are convicted in china, they are not going to get the same treatment they get here. and perhaps that might end up being a good thing for them, as they will learn respect for the law, and they might even learn a life lesson as well, that they are not always going to get star treatment every where they go.

China is going to give them very harsh sentences to make an example out of them. Pres Trump may or may not try to intervene.
Reminds me of the punk who vandalized cars in Singapore and got the cane.
